HASP-LOCK.-

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed ootolrer 5, 1905. Serial No. 281.505.

- Iatented July 17, 1906.

To all whom, it may concern;

Be it known that I, CHESTER G. SHEP- HERD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rutland, in the county. of Lasalle and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hasp-Locks, of which the following is a specification.

In my ending application, Serial No. 275,797, fi ed August 25 1905,. a seal-lock is shown and described and claimed appli cable to a fastenin such as a hasp and staple, and intende particularly for use on railway freight-cars.

The invention forming the subject of the present application is an improvement or modification of the device referred to and is characterized particularly by the use of a key-lock for'controllin the bolt of the hasp. Some of the seal-lock eatures are, however, retained, as will-more fully appear from the following.

The present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. vFigure 1 is aplan or face view; Fi 2, a lan view with the to plate remove and ig. 3 a section on the inc 3 3 of Fig'rl.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the hasp-casingcomprises a back plate 6 and a top plate 7, riveted together. The back plate is recessed to form a space for the .tumblers and other parts of the lock and also for the lock-controlled devices which.

operate the locking-pin. The in is indicated at 8 and slides within a tu ular casing 9, formed by cored bosses on the face of the casing. It moves across the slot 10, through which the stapleon the door ost extends when the hasp is fastened.

through Ea hole 14 in the end of the casing.

The pin 8 is operated by a swingin piece 15, which turns on a stud 16 within 1; e casing. This piece has a tongue 17, which extends into a slot 18 in the in, and when the piece is turned or swung t e pin is raised or owered accordin ly to unlock or look thehasp. At the si e opposite the tongue 17 the piece 15 has a notc 13, which receives a lug 19, projecting from a finger-piece by he hasp is fastenedi to the door by a staple extendingseal. The lower arm fits through an opening in the lower edge ofthe casing andextends into the recess containing the lock and the piece 15, and, as said before, said arm has a lug 19, which enga es the notch of said piece, so that when tlie finger-piece is slid up or down the piece 15 is turned accordingly andthe bolt moved in or out. The space between the upper and lower arms 22 and 23 is of pro or width to embrace the upper plate of tli so that the upper arm is on the outside of the casing and the lower arm is on the inside thereof, and the finger-piece will slide up and down, as indicated, to operate the pin.

The lock may be sealed in various ways, as referred to in my former application,- by means of seals of one kind or another in e casing which fits therebetween,

lock or the wire of a so-called Keystone I sorted through the openings 24, 25, or 26 in the finger-piece and through corresponding openings 29, 30, and 31 inribs 28, which stand upon the face-plate on opposite-sides of the upper branch of the finger-- iece;but the present case is more particu arly concerned with the key-lock. Thislock has a sliding bolt 30 with a' rejection 31, which enga es in a notch 32, ormed in the edge of the ower branch 23 of the finger-piece.

hole 34, the operation being controlled by pivoted spring-tumblers 35. I

When the projection 31' is engaged in the notch 32, the finger-piece cannot be pulled out, and consequently the in cannot "be retracted; but by the use of t e pro er key the bolt of the lock will be retracted, disenga ing the projection 3 1 from the notch 32 and al owing the finger-piece to be pulled down to lift the'pin and release the hasp and staple.

This bolt is advanced by a spring 33, so that.

It will'be noticed that the hasp-pin is retained in the casing at all times and cannot come out. The possibility of-using several kinds of locks orseals makes the device particularly valuable for railroad use. It will be understood that the size and proportions of the device may be varied according to the kind of use it is to be put to. The key-lock may be used with or without one of the seals, various kinds of seals being usedaccording to the kind in use wherever the car happens to be.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A-hasp-lock having a casin a slidable to receive a seal, and a look inside the casing in therein arranged to engage t e staple, a having a bolt engageable with said 1ns1de ever in the casing connected to the pin, a part of the finger-piece, to prevent move- I 5 finger-piece having a branch projecting into 'ment thereof. 5 the casing to engagement with the lever, and In testimony whereof I have signed my a lock in the casing, the bolt of which enname to this specification in the presence of gages Xhfi fingler- 'iece. two subscribing witnesses.
